Climbs in the Pyrenees

Other resources

My first book is now available! Giving all the advice needed to make a memorable bicycle tour of the Alps. I also illustrate such a tour by creating a “dream tour” – attempting to solve the puzzle of what route would be optimal to take if you only go to the Alps once and got +2 weeks at your disposal. That tour I could both illustrate and comment on in detail even if I have never done it myself, since I have been to (nearly) all the roads and places before.

2016-01-23: Now also available directly from me. Prices incl. shipping (worldwide) €23; $25; £17.50; 205 sek. Payment mainly through Paypal: pay to and state your delivery address and e-mail.

All Swiss passes have been measured more exactly, many, many additions and also added to the list all passes above 1391m, under which I likely will never list all paved passes. Next thing is to complete more descriptions in the Worthwhile Climbs list and the the 2012 tours still lacking descriptions, but now it is mostly time for some planning for the Summer … . Maybe also time to start writing on another book and maybe next year to return to the Pyrenees lists that have not been looked at for a long, long time.2016-01-23 My book is now available directly from me and from Amazon, etc. too!
